feat(server): agents can disable auto-settle for follow-up work - #35162
Closes#26097. Replaces #26110 by @shivamhwp, which was closed for conflicts with main. This is that PR's code on current main: its three commits cherry-picked as they were, plus two fixes for main.
If you'd rather reopen #26110, the fixes for main are the last two commits here, and I'll close this one.
What's fixed
After a thread's PR merges, the thread auto-settles at the end of every later run, so an orchestrating agent can't keep it active for follow-up work such as a deploy check. unsettle only holds until the next run ends, and the per-thread auto-settle switch is only in the thread menu.
t3_thread_organize now takes disable_auto_settle and enable_auto_settle. They flip the same switch as the menu's Never / Follow settings options. An auto-settle sweep that is already in flight no longer settles a thread that has just opted out.
This extends the MCP protocol. Adding the two actions grows the tool list by 156 bytes (mcpToolListJsonBytes 48130 → 48286), so it also needs the agent-context-increase label.
Resolved conflicts in docs/user/thread-sidebar.md (main renamed the menu options to Never / Follow settings) and evals/mcp-tool-use/cases/orchestration.ndjson (kept both sets of cases).
The MCP test now runs on McpHttpServer.layerInProcessMcpServer, because main now requires McpRequest context.
Re-measured agentContextBudget.json.

With this PR: Tests 51 passed (51). vp run typecheck in apps/server passes.
#26110 has an end-to-end check over a dev server's /mcp endpoint, with before and after screenshots of the thread menu. I didn't repeat it on this branch.
Related: #33995 fixes the other half of #26097 (agent sends count as activity for the merge rule). The two changes don't overlap.
Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Agents can toggle the existing per-thread auto-settle preference, and automatic settlement now honors that preference at dispatch time. The change is reversible, retains manual controls, and does not change product defaults.

Walkthrough
The thread organization tool now supports disabling and enabling auto-settle. Automatic settlement checks the thread’s disabled state, including when disabling does not change its millisecond-level update timestamp.
t3_thread_organize accepts disable_auto_settle and enable_auto_settle and dispatches the corresponding thread.auto-settle.set command. Tests and evaluation cases cover these actions. The documentation describes switching between Never and Follow settings, and the context budget value increases.
Automatic settlement is rejected when autoSettleDisabledAt is non-null. A regression test checks the case where disabling auto-settle leaves updatedAt unchanged at millisecond precision.
The change lets agents turn auto-settle off and on for a thread, and automatic settlement now respects that setting. Before merging, a maintainer needs to approve the agent-context size increase so the budget check passes. The eval case should also require disabling auto-settle before sending the follow-up.

Explanation
The title "feat(server): agents can disable auto-settle for follow-up work" matches the main change. The PR adds disable_auto_settle and enable_auto_settle actions to t3_thread_organize, which flip the per-thread auto-settle switch so agents can keep a thread open for follow-up work. The title is short, specific, and uses a conventional commit format.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the repository template. It has a Problem section that explains why threads auto-settle after a merged PR. It has a Change section that explains the new MCP actions and the in-flight sweep fix. It has a Scope section that links issue #26097 and explains that the PR replaces #26110. It has a Verification section with the focused test command, before and after results, and the typecheck result. It states what was not checked: the end-to-end /mcp check and the screenshots were not repeated on this branch. Two gaps remain. The Scope section does not explain how the change is a bug fix, since the template accepts bug fixes rather than features and the title says feat. The description also does not state the agent model and harness that did the work, which the template asks for when an agent was used.

Explanation
Directly linked issue #26097 offers two alternative fixes. Either one resolves the problem. This PR implements request 2: expose the per-thread auto-settle switch over MCP.
apps/server/src/mcp/toolkits/thread/handlers.ts (whole-PR diff, read directly in this review) adds the cases disable_auto_settle and enable_auto_settle. Each case dispatches thread.auto-settle.set with enabled set to false or true, respectively.
apps/server/src/mcp/toolkits/thread/tools.ts adds both actions to the accepted action literals and documents them (read in the prior review; the raw summary matches).
apps/server/src/mcp/toolkits/core.test.ts tests both actions through dispatch. Orchestrator.control-reads.test.ts tests the same-millisecond in-flight race.
Orchestrator.ts adds the autoSettleDisabledAt check to the auto-settle rejection. The whole-PR diff for this file could not be read in this review (changed blob unavailable). The raw summary (+1/-0) and the prior review's read support this change.
The PR reports 51 passing tests and a passing apps/server typecheck. These were not re-run in this review.
Request 1 (treat post-merge runs or agent-authored messages as merge-rule activity) is not implemented here. The PR description assigns it to #33995. Because the issue offers request 1 as an alternative, this does not fail the assessment.

Explanation
Every changed file connects to the MCP auto-settle feature for #26097:
handlers.ts and tools.ts implement and document the two new actions.
Orchestrator.ts adds the opt-out guard. This keeps an in-flight auto-settle sweep from settling a thread that has opted out, so the new switch takes effect. The guard's diff was not directly re-read in this review (see the linked-issue assessment).
core.test.ts and Orchestrator.control-reads.test.ts test these changes.
agentContextBudget.json records the larger MCP tool list. The delta is 156 bytes in both the PR text (48130 to 48286) and the raw summary (48094 to 48250). The absolute baselines differ between the two sources, but the delta matches the two new actions. This does not affect scope.
docs/user/thread-sidebar.md documents agent use of Never and Follow settings. The conflict resolution follows main's renamed options.
evals/mcp-tool-use/cases/orchestration.ndjson adds two cases for the new actions.
No unrelated change was found.

Resolve the agent-context budget gate.
The supplied pipeline rejects the increase from 48,130 to 48,286 bytes because ALLOW_INCREASE is false. Updating the recorded budget does not authorize the increase. Ask a maintainer to add agent-context-increase, or reduce the added context and rerun the relevant evals.

@tombowditch The increase makes sense for the new MCP actions.
If a maintainer accepts the increase, the PR needs the agent-context-increase label and a passing budget check before merge. I have not verified the current label or check status, so I’m not marking this finding as addressed.

Require disabling auto-settle before sending the follow-up.
The current checks also accept t3_thread_send followed by disable_auto_settle. If the target run finishes before the disable call commits, automatic settlement can still settle the thread.
Add "order": ["t3_thread_organize", "t3_thread_send"] to expect. The existing cases use this ordering check. This makes the case reject the unsafe sequence.

Update the expect block in the merged-thread-followup-disables-auto-settle case to require t3_thread_organize before t3_thread_send, preserving the existing expected calls and arguments.

verified head 136960baaf9990f11e799d8c7249f85447b26721 on linux with repo playwright, /usr/bin/google-chrome, and real codex gpt-6.1-sol turns through the local proxy. created a real git project and threads through the client. no mocks, fixtures, or demo data. ran one dev server at a time.
on github/main (f0495f741757c0103ed6995621111aec231a526b), codex's disable_auto_settle call failed validation. stopped main, then started the exact pr head with the same task-created state.
on this head, the same action succeeded and the client checked never. reload preserved it.
created two real delegated codex children. settling their parent automatically settled the control child while the opted-out child stayed active.
manual settle and un-settle still worked with never selected.
the opted-out child called enable_auto_settle; follow settings became checked and automatic settlement resumed after its turn.
blacksmith with the required node 26.13.1: all 104 focused tests passed across the mcp toolkit, orchestrator control reads, settlement service, and context budget. vp run check:changed 62ee1039960d0adb70347ffd252faf6783116aa9 passed format, lint, knip, graphql, affected typechecks, and 60 tests. the initial node 24 worker run failed on an unrelated sqlite statement.stat method; rerunning with the required node resolved it.
ci still fails agent context budget, which requires approval for the context increase. no labels or source files changed.

Not verified
native desktop, ios/android, non-codex providers, remote/relay connections, and an actual merge-triggered settlement. automatic settlement was exercised through parent/child settlement without modifying another pr. the same-millisecond in-flight race passed its existing regression test, but was not forced in the live app.
a transient local-proxy response.interrupt 400 appeared during child completion notifications. both children completed and the parent recovered; that proxy behavior was not investigated in this scoped verification.
After a thread's PR merges, an orchestrating agent that keeps waking it for
follow-up work sees it auto-settle again at the end of every run, and
`unsettle` does not hold. The merge rule intentionally ignores agent-sent
messages, so the fix is to let agents use the existing per-thread switch.
`t3_thread_organize` gains `disable_auto_settle` and `enable_auto_settle`,
which dispatch the existing `thread.auto-settle.set` command under the same
write checks as the other organize actions.

Check the live auto-settle flag before applying a sweep snapshot, including when disabling and snapshotting happen in the same millisecond. Cover rejection, re-enabling, and preservation of a manual override through MCP toggles.

Closes #26097. Replaces #26110 by @shivamhwp, which was closed for conflicts with
main. This is that PR's code on currentmain: its three commits cherry-picked as they were, plus two fixes formain.If you'd rather reopen #26110, the fixes for
mainare the last two commits here, and I'll close this one.What's fixed
After a thread's PR merges, the thread auto-settles at the end of every later run, so an orchestrating agent can't keep it active for follow-up work such as a deploy check.
unsettleonly holds until the next run ends, and the per-thread auto-settle switch is only in the thread menu.t3_thread_organizenow takesdisable_auto_settleandenable_auto_settle. They flip the same switch as the menu's Never / Follow settings options. An auto-settle sweep that is already in flight no longer settles a thread that has just opted out.This extends the MCP protocol. Adding the two actions grows the tool list by 156 bytes (
mcpToolListJsonBytes48130 → 48286), so it also needs theagent-context-increaselabel.Changes since #26110
